Personaly for the amount of time you will use them i would just pay a
visit to Halfords and get a socket set greae gun ect ect.
i have a Halfords socket set at work and i have has it for about 5 yrs
now and i still tend to use that rather than all my snap-on tools and
to be honest it does just as good as any other of my tools .
here it is http://tinyurl.com/9aozv
And buy stuff like this http://tinyurl.com/csf32
like i say there is no need to spend a fortune on tools just to do
simple maintaince on your own car
hope this helps m8

I've rebuilt (or nearly rebuilt) a complicated turbocharged petrol
engine as well as landy work using the halfords "professional" set,
not much point splashing out for expensive tools unless you use them
every day.

Pretty much my experience, although something like a grease gun probably
is too likely to be a source of a greasy mess if you buy too cheap. If
you're in a rural area, don't forget the agriultural machinery dealers.
There's still a lot of ag-machinery with numerous greasing points.

Yep, I've bought 3 grease guns so far, two cheapies and one Draper one
that appears to be properly made. Got it from a bolt and tool shop in
Basingstoke that I frequent regularly (Berkshire Bolt and Tool).

Have a look here. Sealy tools are very good, and quite cheap on this
site. They deliver promply, and usually put freebies in too.
On one order they ran out of "free footballs", so they appologised and
gave me a free 3pc set of pliers!
